Education and Inspections Bill — Requirements as to composition of governing bodies — rejected — 24 May 2006 at 14:30

Those voting No rejected a new clause[1] for the Education and Inspections Bill. The Bill gives schools the opportunity of achieving 'foundation' status (see below). This proposed clause, if passed, would have meant foundation governors could not outnumber elected parent governors on schools' governing bodies. However, the amendment was defeated.
